Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Not sure if it was last April Fool's, or the year before that, but basically, "ninjas" started "killing" forumers one by one.

You'd just login one day and find out that you were "killed". Once a forumer was "killed" by a "ninja", their sig would be replaced by a message saying so, and their posts would all appear as light grey text on an only slightly-darker-than-that grey background. > Essentially, impossible to read, kinda like this. <

There was no point beyond that. No punchline. Just the forums getting progressively harder and harder to read, and more and more of a pain in the ass to come to every day as more people were "killed" by "ninjas".

There was a huge uproar about it. Eventually, the only viable way to read the forums before the entire fiasco ended was to disable CSS on every page. (ie, in firefox: view > page style > no style)

I believe that there was a puzzle attached to it, with the forumers needing to follow clues to find an image hidden somewhere on this site.

I still think that last year's April Fools here was much lamer than that.

Don't forget that the "April Fool's Joke" lasted for a fucking week and a half.

WHINE WHINE WHINE I'M A BIG FUCKING CRYBABY THAT CAN'T REMEMBER TO DISCUSS THE NEW 360 MODEL IN THE THREAD DESIGNATED FOR THAT RATHER THAN WHINE ABOUT COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC BULLSHIT FROM TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO

WHINE

Seriously you're the soggiest bunch of pansies on the forums AND I MODERATE H/A SO I KNOW ALL ABOUT SOPPING SISSIES.

~$200 for a 120gig HDD? We're headed back towards reasonable here. They should include wireless functionality in the new model as well, considering they've made the price of the receiver equally as unreasonable as a $100 20gig HDD.

What pisses alot of us off is that we want to use our own external storage devices and microsoft will not let us. Proprietary hardware has always been crappy for the end user.

Project 25.01 final message
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME " moment. I wasn't ready. My code wasn't compiled yet. Our plans weren't setup yet!Sentient programs rarely run into other sentient programs.
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

Isn't there some sort of block against using, say, a USB flash drive with the 360? I remember reading somewhere that all USB peripherals had to have some sort of device inside them before the 360 would recognize them. That's going to be a cunt when UT3 comes out and you can't use anything but the Microsoft-approved KBM.

So get it on PC or PS3

Is the PS3 version going to allow KBAM control? I know you can use them for web surfing and such on PS3, but I didn't know any games supported them.

I thought they were letting both the PS3 and the 360 versions have a KBM control options?

360 doesn't support KBAM for game control, only keyboard for text entry.

KB/M is confirmed for the PS3. I am not sure about the XBox 360.

I think it is time to let fps gamers use the controls these games were designed to use. There are wireless lapboards out there now so gamers can't use the excuse that kb/m will tether them to a desk.

you can use a keyboard and mouse on your computer

i mean

fuck, why can't I use my wii controller on my PS3 this is retarded sony just wants me to spend more money

I had finally talked myself into getting a 360, then a few hours before I was off to the store I see this. Like a kick to nuts, I can't even move now. Someone tell me it's still alright to go buy a 360 now, I need me some TMNT arcade and SotN.

hint: they'll still be there whenever you buy a 360

When to buy a 360 is my problem. The availability of Live downloads is not.

It's just a rumour right now, and is still at least several months away if true. And it's also apparently going to be $80 more than the Premium. If you want one now, and there are games you want to play out now, then go get one.

Because, you know, that's exactly what's happening. What are you, 10? It's not like keyboards are exclusive to PC's, and some of us enjoy the pinpoint accuracy of a mouse over a thumb stick. Considering that Unreal finds its roots in the PC, this is not that much of a surprise. Besides, you can buy a USB KBM combo that costs less than $20 easily.

No HD-DVD? If the Premium is to replace the core and this is going to be sold for a price so close to the $500 BD-equipped PS3, then it had better. I know it needs a larger HDD for IPTV, but just like $100 was too much for a 20GB drive, $175 is too much for a 120GB drive. They must be retiring the core in name only and the Premium unit isn't taking its price point. Honestly, this logic is exactly why I didn't jump on the XBOX 360 HD-DVD drive for $160 deal that Microcenter was having. Well, that and the HDMI model coming so soon.
